1) Trump will be appearing before AIPAC.
A walkout of rabbis is planned. They will hold some sort of prayer
meeting, in opposition
I approve the sentiment, but am not much into prayer
meetings, prayerfulness, or, for the most part, mostly, rabbis.
I don't need rabbis to tell me about Trump. I really dislike
the idea that rabbis are necessary.
Were I at the AIPAC gathering, I'd hope there were other secular
Jews walking out, no rabbinical approval necessary.
But, speaking of secular Jews, I read that Bernie Sanders has
declined the invitation to appear at AIPAC.
Let me opine that he's ducking. He's proved that he could
talk and stand up to evangelicals, in his own voice, that of a secular Jew. But
not, in the same voice, to AIPAC?
.
Ducking. He's a smart guy. But when it comes to Jews,
Israel, Palestinians he has nothing to say? His social democratic views are
parked at the door?
He prefers to be mute.
2) As noted, Trump will be appearing before AIPAC.
Why not invite him to J. Street?
J. Street won't, prefers to condemn Trump with principles from
afar.
J. Street is missing an opportunity. If Trump appears,
challenge him. If he refuses, that's news too.
